    Middle East Geography Test

    http://www.rethinkingschools.org/just_fun/games/mapgame.html Curious to see how the political forum participants do. I used to know every country on the globe ...but that was 1985. Still haven't learned all those pesky ex-Soviet nations, but I think Ali-G's Borak character is from one of them.

    Sugestinons needed - what's the opposite of a "fag hag"?

    So I've pretty much got 2 lives now - a California one which I'm trying to mold in a conventional normal kinda way, perhaps find a wife, gamble less, etc etc - and a Vegas one, which pays the bills and is...well, in Vegas. As it turns out, my recent set of friends in Vegas ((they tend to change...

    Friendly Saudis Still Teaching Hate

    Amazing how this country which gave birth to 15 of the 9-11 hijackers and have one of the worst human rights records continues to be praised by us and considered an ally. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/05/19/AR2006051901769.html?referrer=emailarticle

    The Walkout Will Fail

    I don't see how this protest will help any kind of immigrant cause. For one thing, what's the message? Yes - of course this country values immigration - it always has - that's never been the issue of concern. So, if the walkout is to make people appreciate immigrants - well, that message...

    McCain offers union crowd $50 an hour to pick lettuce in Arizona

    I'm starting to think maybe Bush was correct in 2000 when he questioned McCain's sanity. $50/ hour? Uh yeah, I'd do it. What the hell - Americans don't mind hard work, it's all about the benjamins. Nobody wants to work their ass off and not ascend the poverty line. I don't know which is...

    So, what should we do with Iraq at this point?

    All the arguing about reasons for starting this war are somewhat moot. They serve a purpose in that maybe we can learn something for the future, but don't really do anything positive about the current predicament. So what are some ideas about what we should do now? Withdraw? Apologize to the...

    Bush embarrasses himself and USA again...

    Bush on Pakistan: The leader of the free world doesn't realize that Pakistan is NEITHER free or Arab. And if Pakistan does ever (not likely) become democratic, they will vote in pretty hardline Islamists - not at all likely to be our "stedfast partner". This is basic geography. I'd think...
